I know RTF{PDP-11 Sunsite Docs} :^)

OK, I figured that part out on my own, so am following up my original
question with another question.

What I've got are Teac FD-55GFR-149-U drives, which I see from the document
on 3rd party disks can be used as RX33's. So, can a RX33 read RX50 disks?
At this time, I don't care about being able to write them, just read them.

Don't be to surprised if I come back with some questions on 3rd party Q-Bus
floppy controllers :^)
